Upcoming on the blog:

AH, September! The first month of my first year of college. I’ll continue to post consistently. You can look forward to reviews of the books I’ve read this past month, including To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, The Taking, Anna and the French Kiss, and Defiance. I’ll be participating in Top 10 Tuesday. And I’d like to read If I Stay and then see the new movie in theaters, which would mean a “movie vs. book” review sometime in the next few weeks. And, of course, I’ll let you know how school goes!
